Ultimate Cross Sell [Support Thread]

[ultimate_zc]

I found the issue. Buddy, why did you program this using short open tags? ...

Could you kindly expand on the issue? If I don't know what is wrong, I can't fix it.

Incidentally, normally when the footer and the right sidebar are missing more often than not, it is because the required file, in this case "tpl_modules_also_purchased.php", has not been uploaded to the proper directory.

Very easy. One of the two files required (the first I believe) that I posted earlier starts with <? instead of <?php. <? is called a short open tag. Using these must be allowed in php.ini. That flag wasn't set in mine per default. Changing <? to <?php fixed the problem.

The reason why I'm bringing this up is that some people don't have access to their php.ini like on shared hosting programs. I don't see any reason why anybody would ever use <? instead of <?php because of exactly that reason.

Tabbed Lite supports one of the other version of cross sell and it has an admin setting to display cross sells on a tab instead of in the description area.

I changed where it calls for tpl_modules_xsell_products.php to tpl_modules_ultimate_cross_sells.php however there is an additional section in the file that needs to be converted, the code is below does it make any sense to anyone?

// ===> Check if Cross Sell should be a tab or not (tabstrip)
if ($bCrossSell_Tab != false) {
  $xsell_query = $db->Execute("select distinct p.products_id, p.products_image, pd.products_name
                         from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_XSELL . " xp, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd
                         where xp.products_id = '" . $_GET['products_id'] . "'
                          and xp.xsell_id = p.products_id
                          and p.products_id = pd.products_id
                          and pd.language_id = '" . $_SESSION['languages_id'] . "'
                          and p.products_status = 1
                         order by xp.sort_order asc limit " . MAX_DISPLAY_XSELL);
  $num_products_xsell = $xsell_query->RecordCount();
  if ($num_products_xsell != 0) {
    echo '<li><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="expandcontent(\'sc'.$g.'\', this)"><span>'.$cross_sell_tab_name.'</span></a></li>' . "\n";
    $g++;
  }
}

The reason I asked is because I wanted to know which file had the short open tag so that I could fix it and submit it when I update the contribution.

this fix doesn't work for me, any other ideas ?

Random products are being shown on the checkout page and no items are being shown on the product pages now. Is there any fix for this?

Just wanted to say thanks for such a wonderful mod! This is by far the easiest cross sell mod to configure and I love the way I can enter the cross sells once and have them show up on both my sidebox and shopping cart.

Thanks again,
Crystal

Is there a way to reorder the display of ultimate cross sell on the product info page, e.g. related products, then cross sell and upsell. The way it's displayed currently, cross sell is displayed first but I'd prefer having related products displayed first and then cross sell.

Any ideas or suggestions on which files to modify would be great.

Sorry to ask again, but is there a solution for this?
